The NRA's whole problem is that they don't make themselves clear to
non-members. The NRA is about FREEDOM. I remember when I used to
vote for so called "Pro-choice" candidates, then I found out they
were pro-choice on only one issue. I was supposed to support their
rights while they took mine away...... No more, I vote based on how
a candidate feels about the 2nd Amendment. let the "Pro-choicers"
fight for their own rights, it'll keep them from taking away mine.

I quit the NRA/ILA a few years ago when they refused to see what
was comming, and how we could have prevented it by timely action on
our part. There were a number of influential members who wanted me
to run for president back then.
